Locus of control

Locus of Control My score on this test was a 67 out of 100. Based on this score, I interpret my successes on a personal level such as skills and intelligence and external factors such as chance and other people’s help. I do not take credit I deserve for my successes. If I did more, my motivation and self-esteem would be improved. I strongly agree with this assessment. In fact, this is spot on. I do not give enough credit for my successes. For example, if I do well on a really hard exam, but…

Macbeth, who once was perceived as an honorable hero on the battlefield, has let his ambitions negatively control his actions. In spite of Macbeth’s fearless persona in battle, he is worried about the witches prophecies which he believes determines his fate. As a psychologist, I have been referred to this thrilling case in order to examine why Macbeth thought the way he did, and why he executed these murderous deeds. According to J.B Rotter 's “Are You the Master of your Fate?” the main…

The Search of Man for Reality Man’s life-long thirst for truth, authenticity, reality, prominence and identity has led him to depend on various sources like media, popular opinion and other external sources in search of satisfaction. In essence, I believe that the four essays ("What We Talk about When We Talk about Ralph Sampson", "Through a Glass, Blindly", "The Passion of the Garth", "Ha Ha," he said. "Ha, ha") written by Chuck Klosterman tends to answer questions that border around man’s…

Casey Cep, a writer for The New Yorker, wrote an article entitled “The Pointlessness of Unplugging”, which suggests that unplugging from technology is pointless because it is deeply embedded in our daily lives and we can’t function without it. In the conclusion of her piece she states, “Let’s not mistake such experiments in asceticism for a sustainable way of life” (Cep). Asceticism describes a lifestyle characterized by abstinence from worldly pleasures (greed, ambition, pride, sex and…

Rotter was the first person to develop the concept of ‘locus of control’ in 1966 (Carrim, 2006). To define the concept, Rotter (1966) used the empirical law of effect, which mentioned how people were encouraged in seeking for positive motivation, and avoided the negative inspirations. Skinner’s concept of reinforcement helped Rotter (1996) explain the concept, the concept mentioned that in case the results of responses by a person are satisfactory or unsatisfactory, then the possibility of this…

organizational behaviors and their effects on an individual, a group, and consequentially-the organization. In this case, Wally Wingnut’s behavior-after the arrival of Gabe Benson- gives rise to individual issues such as self-esteem, efficacy, locus of control, and many more. The Meson lab scenario also touches perception problems such as the fundamental attribution error, halo effect, stereotyping, that in one way or the other reduce organizational efficiency and performance. • Core…

After taking the Locus of Control, my results states that I believe, or succeed, or even fail in a particular situation is primarily due to my own effort. If I work hard enough and intelligent enough, I know that I will ultimately achieve what I want. My score showed that I was “very internal.” I believe the results to be true because I can be very lazy in everything I do. When I put my mind to something and try my best and change my attitude I become the best. I gave 100% last semester and…

Describe a situation where you felt you had control over an event in your life. Being able to control my life is important to me because I want to make decision that will help me, not hurt me.

Introduction As a student at NAIT, I thought for the most part that I would be dealing with Adults and reasonable ones at that, but now, I don’t know anymore. One day, I found myself in an unfortunate situation that I was not prepared for. This occurrence happened as I was waiting on my lunch order preparation. I witnessed a fellow student stuff her bag with all sorts of dipping sauces. She looked me blanked in my eyes as she thanked the food preparer when asked, if she wanted anything and did…
